Making the Garden Pay

Blackberries are started by planting the suckers or young plants that come up from the extended roots of the old plants, or pieces of roots from old plants may simply be buried at a depth of two or three inches where the hills are wanted. The planting of suckers is best for the home garden. The canes formed one year bear the fruit the following season and ! then should be removed. The strong ! growing canes should be pinched back : during the summer so that they form | branches and do not become too high. Blackberries that grow wild in patches support one another, but in the garden, where the hills are spaced about three or four feet apart, the young tender canes are liable to be broken off at the base by the wind unless they are tied to supports. A good way to support the blackberry plants is to drive a long stake about four feet high in the row beside each hill, then stretch about three strands of galvanized wire on the stakes and tie the canes to the wires Dewberries are similar to blackberries in most respects, except that th>- canes creep along the ground end form new plants by rooting at their tins. Set the nlants in the early

Capitals of Europe Shocked Over Death of Monsignor Budkevich Before Soviet Firing Squad—Act Deplored at Washington, / By United Press HOME,. April 4.—News of the execution of Monsignor Budkevich, Roman Catholic prelate, by a Russian firing squad, caused a tremendous sensation at the Vatican today. Up to the last minute Pope Pius was of the belief that ti e vicar general’s life would be spared. “

It had been understood In Vatican circles that the death penalty was to be postponed and later be commuted to imprisonment in exile. Pope Pius spared no effort to save Monsignor Budkevich's life. It had been expected Russian authorities would heed the Vatican’s appeal in gratitude for what the latter did for starving Russians in the famine days.

spring three feet apart in the row and allow the canes to lie on the ground the first season. Early the following spring drive a row of stakes and stretch wires upon them, forming a trellis to which the canes may be tied. Dewberries are pruned very much the same as other berries by cutting out the canes after fruiting and clip ping back the new growth, if the canes grow longer than five or six feet. If more than five or six canes arc formed in each hll! thin -out the weaker ones. Dewberries give better results in the South than blackberries. In cold regions, dewbefry canes "winter-kill” badly unless they are protected. One method of protecting the plants is to loosen the wires from •he slakes ar.d lay the wires and canes upon the ground, then cover with earth or with straw or both. In the early spring the covering Is carefully removed and the wires fastened back in place without taking the canes off them. Logan blackberries are adapted to growing on the Pacific Coast but do not thrive in the Houth or East. The loganberry is of the trailing type and resembles the dewberry In Its habits of growth.
